Our Approach to Muscle Energy Techniques
Treatment begins with an assessment of your posture, muscle function, joint mobility, flexibility, and movement limitations. Dr. Sai Kiran selects appropriate techniques based on your condition and treatment goals.

These techniques may be combined with manual therapy, mobility exercises, and strengthening activities to support rehabilitation.
